Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP)

SCTP is a reliable datagram transfer protocol basedon an unreliable transfer protocol such as UDP.

SCTP End Point is a logical entity, logical datagram

sender and receiver. Each SCTP End Point is only

identified by IP address and port number, similar toTCP.

SCTP Association is a logical association or channel

established between two SCTP End Points.

Client/Server mode is adopted.


15/58

MTP3-User Adaptation Layer Protocol(M3UA)

M3UA (MTP3-User Adaptation Layer) protocol

conducts conversion between SPCs and IP

addresses. It is used for the SS7 signaling to

transfer between the Softswitch and the SignalingGateway(SG). It supports to transfer the MTP3 user

messages over the IP network, including ISUP,

TUP, and SCCP messages.


16/58

Signaling connection control protocol SCCP

In ZXWR RNC, SCCP protocol is mainly used to transportsignaling message by Iu/Iur interface. The client is RANAP

and RNSAP.

It offers the connectionless or connection-oriented services

for its client. The SCCP also offers the segmentation and

reassembly functions.

MAC-Some Transport Channel Principles


47/58


Transport Block

The basic switching unit between L1 and MAC layer Transport Block Set

A Set of Transport Blocks which are Transmitted in a Transport channel on a certainmoment.

Transport Block Size The bit number of a Transport Block.

Transport Block Set Size The bit number of a Transport Block Set.

Transport Time Interval Transport Time Interval is defined as a time interval for a Transport Block arrived,

and it equals to the time for transporting a Transport Block on the Physical Layer ofRadio Interface. It is always the gemination of MIN. interleaving cycle (10ms, Size ofRadio Frame). MAC layer transports a Transport Block Set to the physical layer ineach TTI.

Transport Format Transport Format is defined as the format of a Transport Block Set which is

transported on a Transport channel. The format is provided for MAC layer by L1 (orMAC layer provides for L1). The Transport Format is consisted of two parts:dynamical part and static part.


48/58


Transport Format Set

Transport Format Set is defined as a set of Transport Format on a TransportChannel. In side of a Transport Format Set the static part of transport format is thesame. The previous two features of the dynamic part determine the instantaneousbit rate of the Transport channel.

Transport Format Combination When one or more transport channels map in L1, for each transport channel, there

should be a sets of Transport Format (Transport Format Set) available. For a certaintime, not all the Format Combination is appropriate for L1, but only a sub-set, whichis Transport Format Combination.

Transport Format Combination Set Transport Format Combination Set is defined as a set of Transport Format

Combination of Coded Composite Transport Channel (CCTrCH) .

Transport Format Indicator TFI is the specific indicator for a certain Transport Format among the Transport

Format Set. It is used between L1 and MAC layer, when they exchange a transportblock set.

Transport Format Combination Indicator TFCI is a indicator of the current Transport Format Combination.

The Services Provided by L1 and Timing


49/58

The Services Provided by L1 and Timing

Operation

The Physical Layer provides Data Transport Services for

the upper layer, which are implemented by MAC sub-layer

through Transport Channel.

Transport Format (or Transport Format Set) defines the feature of

the transport channel, meanwhile, it also indicates the processing

on the transport channel by physical layer, such as convolutionalencoding and interleaving, rate match required by the services and

so on.

The operation on the physical layer is strictly according to

the timing of L1 Radio frame. And for every 10ms (or

multiple times of 10ms) to generate a transport block.
